Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13-14) Forgetting? Not possible! But, I understand. It’s about not getting stuck and living in the past, which is rather easy to do. But, I can’t park here and look in the rearview mirror, wishing longingly for a past I can’t retrieve. Instead I must move on, reaching, s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g, branching out, pressing on. See the potential. Explore a new path. Find a new purpose. Discover the possibilities in this new season. My journey isn’t finished. I hear the upward call of God to “come further up and further in,” as C. S. Lewis put it. Catch a glimpse of a new vision and pursue it with childlike enthusiasm. Yes, life goes on, and I embrace it in all its fullness.

Sharing the journey, because, I find there are so many others making the trek through life without a loved onewe expected to be​with us always. A reminder that we are not alone, and we can survive and thrive!
